If you are looking for a work horse to carry from one end of a country to the other, then a touring bike is where your search should be focused. Specifically designed to be comfortable, easy to ride and robust enough to take miles and miles of riding, touring bikes can also make for excellent commuter bikes due to their strong frames and high quality components. Touring bikes are Dawes' speciality, and, this year, every frame in the touring bike range has been revised to perfect the geometry and to include smaller sized frames.

The legendary Galaxy features another legendary tubeset from Reynolds 631. The forks are triple butted chromoly blades that make for smooth but reliably strong ride for the longest journeys. Equipped with 27 speed Shimano Deore gears with Dura-Ace bar end shifters, Shimano cantilever brakes, Tubus logo carrier, Alex double wall rims, Shimano hubs and Schwalbe tyres. The Galaxy is a great touring bike and the best known favourite for a good reason.
